Two types of fuses containing asbestos were used on electricity meter boards in the 1960s:   Henley and Federal

A gasket containing Non-Friable asbestos may be moulded to the same shape as the surface, or look like a fibrous rope or matting. It may be wrapped between the bracket, pipework and gasket. 

Asbestos-containing commercial and industrial gloves to protect the hands from extreme heat and pressure. 

Lagging thermal insulation may contain asbestos. It can be any colour and may look like rope or tape stuck on the outside of pipes or inside furnaces or boilers. 

Asbestos millboard was mostly used for insulation and fire protection, and around heating elements in air conditioning ducts. 

Moulded cement sheets used in electrical work that contain asbestos are usually in the form of bituminous boards. They’re like a flat cement sheet moulded to fit that’s hard, strong and fibrous.
